Bukharinites

The Bukharinites were a faction of Soviet politics that followed the beliefs of Bolshevik revolutionary Nikolai Bukharin, who had fallen out with his former ally Joseph Stalin by opposing collective farming. Bukharin was popular with Western communist sympathizers, and his execution led to the isolation of the Soviet Union and the rise of the social fascist Stalinism. Bukharinites had the support of 9% of the Russian population in 1939, and their views were classified as left-wing radical.
